Ficus pumila (Yalova)

When applied outdoors, it covers walls, poles, trellises and other structures by climbing with its sticky aerial roots.

Ficus pumila (Moraceae) is a species of fig belonging to the Mulberry family. It is called the creeping fig. It is a fast-growing, evergreen spreader and climber with a strong structure. It dislikes windy areas and thrives quickly in shady, semi-shady areas and moist soils. Especially when used outdoors, it climbs up walls, poles, trellises, and other structures with its sticky aerial roots, covering them. If it clings to trees, its roots penetrate the bark, begin feeding on the tree's sap, and can cause the tree to dry out over time. It is quite effective in covering surfaces such as concrete and stone walls, poles, etc., which increase heat. It should be well watered after field application. It can be used to create planted separations both indoors and outdoors. It can be grown as a hanging and spreading plant in hanging baskets, on tabletops, or in pots on shelves. Ficus pumila, which has multiple varieties, can be allergenic. If you would like to find this plant, you can call the grower in YALOVA at this phone number: 0549 722 04 12
